Valspar

Cream Puff

V016-1

Cream Puff is a bright cream with a clear vanilla warmth. This is a high-reflectance cream, so it can brighten a shaded kitchen without turning stark. Cream Puff suits walls and ceilings when a room needs softness but not beige.

South light exposes the yellow. Sample it near trim and cabinetry. White oak, linen, and aged brass all sit comfortably beside it. Let nearby cabinetry guide the final read of this color.

Cream Puff in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
